This set of scrapbook stickers printable vintage style gathers 24 sheets built for one purpose: dressing up the ordinary bits of a long life so they belong on the page. Photo frames, keepsakes, old tickets, ribbons, buttons and the small objects of school days, weddings, gardens and road trips all get their own sheet, so a family album or planner spread always has the right piece on hand.
Print any sheet on printable sticker paper for a peel and stick finish, or on plain matte paper if you plan to glue the pieces in by hand. Print at actual size rather than letting the printer scale to fit, and leave a thin white edge around each shape when you cut so the ink line stays clean.
Using these images: free for personal projects such as printing, coloring, cards, journals and gifts. Handmade items that include them may be sold up to 30 pieces per design. More than that is commercial use and is not permitted, and neither is selling or sharing the images themselves or passing them off as your own. Please ask before any other use.
Family Keepsakes
Give an old family photo the setting it deserves with this sheet of frame shapes: a cabinet card frame, a deckle edge photo frame, an oval gilt frame, a scroll frame, a corner frame and a postcard frame.
Trim a printed photo to size and slide it behind the frame sticker, or use the frame alone as a border drawn straight onto the page. Either way the frame carries the eye to the picture rather than competing with it, which matters most on a busy spread.
Marking a christening or a first birthday calls for the quiet little objects that usually live in a drawer: a baby shoe, a christening gown, a silver rattle, a silver spoon, a locket and a lock of hair tied in a ribbon.
These read like the real paper slips tucked into old wallets: a blank train ticket, a blank theater ticket, a blank fair ticket, a coat check token, a carousel token and a blank bus pass.
Leave the printed lines blank or fill them in by hand with a date or a place name before cutting, so each one becomes a small record rather than a decoration. They sit well along the bottom edge of a page as a running border, or scattered loose among photos as if they had fallen out of a pocket.
Pack a trip page with the small gear that says travel without naming a place: a camera, a postcard, a sun hat, a map pin, a seashell and a small plane. For more holiday-shaped pieces to pair with these, the travel junk journal ideas cover a full trip spread.
Nothing says school days like a chalkboard slate, a lunch pail, an apple, a school bell, a pencil box and a book strap, drawn with the same soft worn look as the real objects.
These suit a page about a first day of school or a grandparent’s old report card equally well. Group two or three together near a photo corner rather than spreading all six across the page, so the spread keeps some breathing room.
A wedding page gets its own set of quiet details: a veil, a bouquet, a ring box, a cake topper couple, a garter and a pair of gloves, each cut as its own sticker.
Build texture under a photo with a torn envelope, a paper doily, a stamp strip, a ledger corner, a deckle card and a vellum strip, all printed flat for easy cutting.
Printed on plain paper and glued down, these read as found scraps rather than stickers, which is the whole point of the sheet. Layer two or three under a photo before adding the picture itself, so the edges peek out around the frame.
Edge a page the way an old sewing box would: rick rack, a velvet ribbon, a lace trim, a pom pom trim, a grosgrain bow and a seam binding twist, each its own strip to cut and place.
Small hardware makes a page feel handled and real: a pearl button, a shank button, a paper clip, a bulldog clip, a brad and a safety pin sit together on this sheet.
Use the clip stickers to look like they are holding a corner of a photo or ticket in place, even though the sticker itself is flat. A craft knife helps most here, since the clip shapes have narrow open centers that plain scissors tend to round off.
Keep a scalloped label, an oval label, a bracket label, a label shape with a corner, a plain banner and a ticket frame on hand for writing in names, dates or a one line caption. These pair naturally with the vintage aesthetic stickers printables for a fuller journal kit.
A watering can, a straw hat, a plain seed packet, a flower pot, a trowel and a basket of roses bring an afternoon in the garden onto the page.
Print this sheet on sticker paper for a quick peel and stick spread, or on plain paper if you want to color the flower pot and basket by hand first. Either version sits nicely beside the watercolor garden paintings for anyone who wants a painted backdrop behind the stickers.
A recipe box, a measuring cup, a mixing bowl, a pie, an apron and a rolling pin suit a page built around a family recipe or a grandmother’s kitchen.
Mark a birthday page from decades back with a layer cake, a party hat, a balloon, a gift, a candle and a paper crown, each drawn plain enough to suit any age or year.
These work just as well in a current planner as they do on an old photo page, since none of the pieces name a specific birthday number. Keep the whole sheet together on one spread rather than splitting it, so the party feels whole.
One sheet covers the whole calendar: a valentine heart, an Easter egg, a picnic basket, a beach ball, a snowflake and a Christmas stocking, handy for a year in review page.
A striped umbrella, a swimsuit, a sandcastle bucket, a starfish, a beach chair and a picnic cooler bring a summer afternoon by the water onto the page.
Leave a thin white border around the umbrella stripes when cutting, since the narrow colored bands are the easiest part of the shape to nick with scissors. This sheet pairs well with the travel memory sheet for a full seaside holiday spread.
A dog collar, a cat in a basket, a dog with a ball, a bird cage, a fish bowl and a pet bowl give family pets a place of their own on the page.
A convertible, a station wagon, a gas pump, a camper, a plain road sign and a picnic hamper suit any page about a family drive, long or short.
The five minute version here is simple: cut only the car shapes that fit the photo on hand, leave the rest of the sheet for later pages, and skip coloring in the road sign so it stays open for a destination name written by hand.
A sewing machine, a dress form, a plain pattern envelope, a pincushion, a spool and a quilt square recall an old sewing room better than words would.
A record, a record player, a jukebox, a radio, a guitar and a microphone bring an old music page to life without a single photo of a band.
Print on sticker paper for a quick stick and go page, or on plain paper and color the record player’s details by hand for a page that takes a little longer but feels more personal. Either way these look right beside a ticket stub from the sheet of old tickets.
A love letter, a pressed rose, a wax seal, a heart locket, a fountain pen and a ribbon bundle suit a page of old correspondence or a wedding anniversary spread. The vintage love stickers make a fitting second sheet for the same page.
A film strip with blank frames, a slide mount, a film canister, a projector, a reel and a flashbulb let old photography equipment share the page with the photos themselves.
Six patterned strips stand in for washi tape: a floral tape strip, a gingham tape strip, a lace tape strip, a striped tape strip, a polka dot tape strip and a kraft tape strip.
Cut these as long strips rather than trimming close to the pattern, since the straight edge is part of the design and reads as a real tape border once it crosses a photo corner. Keep a few uncut on the sheet for a quick five minute page where strips simply frame the edges.
A front door, a porch light, a mailbox, a rocking chair, a window box and a picket gate suit a page about a family home or a grandparent’s porch.
Finish the set with the small pieces that hold a page together: a lace photo corner, a scalloped divider, a floral corner, a ribbon divider, a star corner and a heart divider. Pair this sheet with the blank label stickers for a page that looks finished without a single photo yet in place, and see the vintage aesthetic stickers printables for more frame and corner pieces to mix in.
What to Do Next
Pick two or three sheets that match the album or card you are working on, print them at actual size on sticker paper or plain paper, and start cutting with a thin white edge around each piece.
Frequently Asked Questions
What paper works best for these vintage scrapbook stickers?
Printable sticker paper gives a true peel and stick finish for journals and planners. Plain matte paper works well too if you plan to glue pieces in by hand with a glue stick rather than peel a backing.
What printer settings keep the stickers sharp?
Print at actual size rather than letting the printer scale the page to fit, and choose the highest quality or photo setting available. This keeps the thin grey outlines crisp instead of soft or pixelated.
How do I cut out small or curved sticker shapes?
Use small detail scissors for outer edges and a craft knife for inner curves like the open center of a clip or a locket. Leave a thin white border around each piece so the ink line never gets clipped.
Can I use these stickers in a planner instead of a journal?
Yes, the frames, labels and tape strips all work well in a weekly planner spread. Blank labels and tickets are especially useful since you can write a date or note directly onto them before or after cutting.
How many sheets come in this set and do they repeat objects?
The set has 24 sheets covering frames, keepsakes, tickets, ribbons and everyday objects from a long life. Every object across the whole set is different, so nothing repeats from one sheet to the next.
